Widespread Panic hiatus looming?

2011 is Widespread Panic’s 25th Anniversary, and according to JoJo Hermann, after the next tour, the band may be hanging it up…at least for a while.

While no official statement has been released by Widespread Panic or their management, Hermann conducted an interview with Vanderbilt University’s student newspaper, where he was quoted as saying:

"Vanderbilt Hustler: Are you at all surprised at the longevity of your success as a group?JoJo Hermann: Well, next year will be our 25th anniversary. After that, we’re probably going to call it (quits) for awhile. So we’re looking forward to next year and going out on a high note."
